Capacity

Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk.—At 12.40 in the afternoon of the 31st of March, 1952, the Gorleston coastguard telephoned that the motor vessel Capacity, of London, had anchored off Britannia Pier and wanted to land a man with a broken arm. No other boat was available, and at 12.55 the life-boat Louise Stephens was launched, in a moderate sea, with a fresh north-north-east breeze blowing. She took the injured man on board, landed him in the harbour, where an ambulance was waiting, and arrived back at her station at 1.47.—Rewards, £12 12s..
